The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 987 Look After You

Sonya was a woman of her word. That afternoon, Aubree appeared at the Farwell residence door. Catalina gazed at Aubree on the video intercom screen. Recalling Lucian's instructions, she let her in.

Aubree had a thermal container in her hand, and she headed for the stairs as soon as she walked in. "Ms. Pearson," Catalina called out, wanting to tell her that Lucian was working and not to go up and disturb him.

To her surprise, Aubree acted as though she was invisible and went straight upstairs. As the older woman watched Aubree waltz off, her thoughts inadvertently turned to Roxanne.

Aubree walked up to the door to Lucian's bedroom. She raised her hand to knock on the door, then entered the room without waiting for a response.

"Lucian-" She broke off abruptly when she saw him sitting on the bed and working. "Why are you up? Mrs. Farwell told me you were resting."
